No such thing that I know of, not from a vendor that is premade anyway. You'd have to have an exhaust shop make you one.
Are you going to use a simulator to avoid getting a couple CEL's? Also, your stock exhaust is the quietest thing available...and without the cats it'll still be decently quiet...although it probably won't sound very good.

i did this on my old 2000. the cat was pretty much worn out so i gutted it and bolted the shell back up so it looked stock. improved power, MPG and i think it sounded better with the flowmaster that was on there
Ok I can knock ou the internals wouldn't be first time and yea I did see the o2 fooler looks like a good item. I've used parts like that on other vehicles. I have no problem keeping stock exhaust this vehicle has no problem climbing the high 11K passes here and gets a solid 20+mpg hand calculated and averaged over a year and speedo verified by gps. Will do 21-22 on flats with cruise set. Wife wants to lift and put big bumper on but I told her it'll kill the mileage.
Looks like a great forum and already found lots of good info.

I was going to ask about this sometime. I've done the same thing to other vehicles, but was hesitant to do it to my 4Runner. If I use the URD sim, punch both cats, and install a 18" Magnaflow.....do you think it'll sound good and run good? Also, did your exhaust stink real bad after you did that when you were idling in town and stuff?

IT wont be so bad if you regear to make up the for the weight, larger tires and difference in air stream. Some people just take the tire diameter into consideration but forget about all the added weight and how it makes a difference. I have not re-geared yet but still manage 17mpg mixed driving and on a couple long road trips got 21mpg with cruise set for 200 mile increments.
